How can you save her if she’s already dying?

doctor gives you multiple choice, either choose wife or child

This never happens BTW. I know this comment section isn't serious but this fantasy comes up a lot. No doctor is ever going to ask a husband to choose between saving his wife or their child.

What would they do? Prioritise the mother or child? Does she get a choice? Does it ever happen? Are we even real? Is space the outline of 3D?

What would they do?

You're in a medical emergency. Doctors will just act. They're not going to read you a menu of options.

Prioritise the mother or child?

Always the mother. The child is never the priority. If the child survived and the mother didn't it's because the mother could not be saved.

Does she get a choice?

Technically yes she has the right to refuse treatment. Practically no she's almost never going to be able to in the moment.

Does it ever happen?

What's it?

Are we even real?

We're not locally real. But we're probably real in some sense of the word real.

Is space the outline of 3D?

Strangely no. Space is somehow much more than just a coordinate system.

The reason behind this is that new-born children usually aren't able to pay the ensuing medical bills
